If you’re going to use ChatGPT to write comments you should preface the comment saying so.
I don’t want Hackernews to be a place where people just copy and paste ChatGPT work, taking credit for it, and also potentially adding hallucinations to the ecosystem here.
When I read comments I assume they are human written, that someone put effort into that comment, and when someone is strongly asserting something (as your comment does), that they have sufficient authority to match the strength of the assertion.
ChatGPT comments always sound VERY sure of themselves, as though they are 100% right, but I know from experience that it can be very wrong, especially with more complex topics. So I think it’s poor form to post up this kind of comment with its strong assertions without saying you did a copy and paste as though it was your own original work. A modern version of plagiarism really while also lowering the overall quality of Hackernews and polluting it with generated text.
- aix1 3y agoIn fairness to the GP, there's another comment from them from about an hour ago explaining how the answer was produced. tl;dr Claude drafting + manual checking and cleanup.
- ttul 3y agoYeah, as the other comment here indicates, I used Claude to generate an initial summary, which I verified and edited before posting. I am teaching myself deep learning and I use Claude to analyze papers before diving in. Many papers are hard to get through otherwise - and that’s true I think even if you are an expert!
- mistymountains 3y agoYou won’t teach yourself by running papers through Claude, and you won’t need to if you went from first principles rather than rushing.
- ttul 3y agoI beg to differ. If I start with a summary that was produced by a model that has an excellent broad understanding of all prior work, it can help to fill in gaps so that when I do read the paper later, I parse it better. I have ADHD and a learning disability. I guess your mileage may vary.
